Lyric's

Now I've had the time of my life
No, I never felt like this before
Yes I swear, it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I owe it all to you

I've been waiting for so long
Now I've finally found someone
To stand by me
We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical fantasy

Now with passion in our eyes
There's no way we could disguise it secretly
So we take each other's hand
'Cause we seem to understand
The urgency

Just remember
You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love because

I've had the time of my life
No, I never felt this way before
Yes, I swear, it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
Hey, baby

With my body and soul
I want you more than you'll ever know
So we'll just let it go
Don't be afraid to lose control, no
Yes, I know what's on your mind
When you say, "Stay with me tonight" (stay with me)

Just remember
You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love because

I've had the time of my life
No, I never felt this way before
Yes, I swear, it's the truth
And I owe it all to you

'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I've searched though every open door
'Til I found the truth
And I owe it all to you

Now I've had the time of my life
No, I never felt this way before
Yes, I swear, it's the truth
And I owe it all to you

I've had the time of my life
No, I never felt this way before
Yes, I swear, it's the truth
And I owe it all to you

'Cause I've had the time of my life (the time of my life)
And I've searched though every open door
'Til I found the truth
And I owe it all to you

I love the intro for this cover, especially when the second guitar joins in at 0:06. The guitar goes harder in Lillix's version than in the original song.

So sad they took it down from Spotify 😭 that was my childhood jam

Luis Rosado

They killed it! A cover done their way!

UNCLE FEMALE

I know the Romantics did the original, and it was good. But this cover brought an energy that they didn’t quite achieve. 🙌🙌🙌

The Romantics version is higher energy and has a better flow than this version. But this version is better than the generic sounding version done by 5 Years of Summer (or whatever they're called).

LOL. No.
